Beale Street Blues (比尔街的蓝调) - Joan Morris/William Bolcom[00:00:00]
Composed by:W.C. Handy[00:00:03]
I've seen the lights of gay Broadway[00:00:14]
Old Market Street down by the Frisco Bay[00:00:22]
I've strolled the Prado I've gambled on the Bourse[00:00:29]
The seven wonders of the world I've seen[00:00:38]
And many are the places I have been[00:00:47]
Take my advice folks and see Beale Street first[00:00:54]
You'll see the trum[00:01:02]
You'll beautiful trams[00:01:04]
You'll see tailor mades and hand me downs[00:01:06]
You'll meet honest men and pickpockets skilled[00:01:10]
You'll find that bus'ness never closes till somebody gets killed[00:01:14]
You'll see huge resturents[00:01:18]
And shape and hage[00:01:20]
You'll see Jugs that tell of bygone days[00:01:22]
And places once places[00:01:26]
Now just a shame[00:01:28]
You'll see Golden Balls enough to pave the New Jerusalem[00:01:30]
You'll see the nation[00:01:34]
You are the first relation[00:01:36]
Who come to Beale for inspiration[00:01:38]
Politicians call you a dub[00:01:43]
Unless you've been initiated in the Rickriters Club[00:01:46]
If Beale Street could talk[00:01:50]
Beale Street could talk[00:01:52]
Married men would have to[00:01:54]
Take their beds and walk[00:01:56]
Except one or two[00:01:58]
Who never drink booze[00:02:00]
And the blind man on the corner[00:02:02]
Who sings the Beale Street Blues[00:02:04]
I'd rather be here than any place I know[00:02:08]
I'd rather be here than any place I know[00:02:18]
It's goin' to take the seargent for to make me go[00:02:28]
Goin' to the river maybe bye and bye[00:02:37]
Goin' to the river and there's rivers way[00:02:46]
Because the rivers wet[00:02:55]
And Beale Street's done gone dry[00:02:58]
